BASSA can't understand why BA never accepted their proposal when it did "include a pay cut". Well done.
Hey Nuigini - this is pretty much how I see it (though as always if someone is able to give some figures showing how earnings will be affected I am more than happy to be proved wrong).
Surely the pay cut that was
offered by BASSA not being taken by BA is a blessing in disguise (the disguise being some significant - I don't wish to trivialise - changes to the working agreement). Though I know the status quo is preferable, it was never going to be an option. It just seems that the offer is far less horrendous than it is made out to be.
